With this release comes the General Availability (GA) of Alluxio Structured Data Services (SDS), the subsystem of Alluxio responsible for managing and transforming structured data, such as databases, tables, and partitions.

Why Data Orchestration?

Large-scale analytics and AI/ML applications require efficient data access, with data increasingly distributed across multiple data stores in private data centers and clouds.

This paper delves further into what’s driving the need for–and what problems are solved with—an Alluxio data orchestration layer as part of a modern data platform.
